Making Verbs OF Nouns.

The tendency Of American newspapers

tain nouns is n of the most unsa,is-
factory features Of contemporary jour

an aggressive verb is an act as LIwlcSS us
it is unpunishable. When a reporter as
serts that John Smith suicided'' he
makes hi, meaning clear, hut he shocks
the nerves of those conservatives who
base their English on dictionary prece-
dent. ''lnterview' used rs a verb is all
other outcome of journalistic independ-
encc. But even the two words cited are
10y no means the most striking illustra-
tions of the tendency referred TO. 4

indefinitely extended. but the above will
suffice.

appeared this season upon the evening
toilet of those of the earth who can afford

women had a caprice about snakes. They

When she appeared in her box at the
opera every glass in the house was leveled
at her as she sat scintillating with dia-
monds, and with the dark coil Of the SER
penis body illustrating the whiteness of
her neck.
Later on the Countesse de Villineuye
for several months wore on her neck a
beautiful scarabcus beetle. II was teth-

Therefore, in this hypcrborean region

the ground covered with snov; for
months. when the blasts are most pene-

fine folk must initiate the English mode.
They, too. must open their country
houses, built and furnished for summer,
and invite country house parties to
sports that nearly kill them by exposure.
They shiyer and freeze and suffer, and
sometimes die; they take diphtheria and
pneumonia, and endure agonies Of torture
because the high English go to the coun.

Therefore. ON Long Island. where a

TO a gallant master Of the hounds that ht
would shoot the first man who attempted
to ride over his grounds. Good sport.
however, could not be interrupted. and

But there stood the farmer, with musket

A DECISION regarding the liability
of a telegraph company for negligence
in transmitting u message was lately
rendered by the supreme court Of Ten
nessee Ia the case Of Mari VS.. The
Western Union Telegraph Company.
The plaintiff, il appears, sent a mes
sage to an agent 10 New York to buy
1000 shares Of Memphis 4 Charleston
stock. The message wss sent to buy
100 shares. The stock was on the in
crease, aud when the plaintiff discov-
cred the error the difference In the
market value amounted to s. Hips. The
plaintiff did not send another message
TO make out the | 900 shares until the
stock had advanced so far as to make
the difference in the market value
amount TO about $1,000. The ecu
held that the plaintiff could recover
the difference in tie market value be-
tween the time Of sending the message,
and the ii me when he discovered the
error. but that he could not recover for
the increased value between the time
when the error was discovered and the
time when the corrected message was
sent, which was several days after,
when the stock had gone up consider
ably. The court said it was the duty
Of the plaintiff to sebd message cor.
recting the error as o as he discov-
cred 1t. Regarding the status Of the
telegraph company the court said that
while the telegraph company was not
q common carrier so as to be an iusur-
er, IL was held to a great degree Of liza
bility. and was liable for negligence in
transmitting the message. The con.
ditions ano contract that were men,
toned on the blank messages Of the
telegraph company were Dot binding
on the sender Of the messages. al.
though he might have knowledge of
them they being invalid. as the tele.
graph company could not contract
against their own negligence.

IN its final report the British Com
mission on the Depression of Trade de.
clared that It's inquiry had been I'M
barrassed by the want OF accurate sta
tistics with regard to the details Of do
nestle trade, and il strongly recon-
mended that steps should be taken TO
procure fuller information than was at
hand both as to the production of the
leading industries Of the country and
as to the distribution of its industrial
population. This recommendation Of
the commission il now echoed by some
Of the English trade journals, which
complain of the lack Of satisfactory
statistics of internal commerce.. This
10 a complaint which is likely to he
heard often enough in the immediate
future both in England and elsewhere.
The need Of commercial statistics n a
guide to the business man IL being felt
more aud more in proportion as trade
extends and becomes specialized. The
necessity is one common alike to the
business man, the legislator and the
social %scienii.t. The hap.hazzard
methods which might have suficed
when society and commerce were not
so highly complex as they are to-day
must give place to a more intelligent
system adapted to meet the changed
conditions. No business man whose
interests are other than Of the most
trifling kind can today afford to neg.

which commercial statistics and cog.

In some parts Of India it is a custom

chicken cure, which is thus described by
a correspondent:
"a Hindu woman having been bitten
on the ankle, her husband applied a
bandage above the wound and sent for
the specialist. The man recommended
the chicken cure. Twelve live chickens
were brought TO the house and applied
TO the wound one after the other. All Of
them died from the effects Of the poison,
and two more were sent for; these two
lived, and the patient was declared
cured. The matter having been reported

Angio-saxon Superiority Over Hindoo.
Col. Amberton, Of the British army in
India, while ut Agra, had occasion 10
have a large number Of packing boxes
made. The native carpenters would
make them very cheaply and as good
and serviceable as need be, and to them
the job was given.
One day the colonel went to give some
directions about the work, and while
watching the workmen he was struck
with the clumsiness of their tools, and
the awkward manner in which they
were used. He remarked to the llindoo
superintendent that a good English car
renter would do more work in a day than
ten of those men.
The IIindoo could not believe it. In
fact. he knew better. He would like to
test it. Col. Amberton had made his as
sertion somewhat recklessly, but he
would not recedc from it. Returning To
| camn. Le set about il investigating; and
attached 10 one of the batteries of flying
artillery hc found AN Englishmn who
was n carpenter by trade, having served
his time 1t il. and worked for years with
the saw and hammer.

laid and the single Englishman went ia
work against ten natives. The boards
were in the rough and had 10 be cut and

The magnificent Sheffield saws worked

wage than for their credit, hut they were
beaten. As the dial pounted 10 the hour
